 UOI: We continued learning about Judaism today. We learned about the festivals and traditions and watched a video about Hanukkah. We learned why men wear the Kippah and the differences between a bar mitzvah and a bat mitzvah. Students made connections to other religions, and we also "lit" the first two candles of the Menorah and two candles on our Advent wreath which Christians use to count down to Christmas. Lastly, we had students in our class who mentioned today is Prophet Mohammad's birthday so we celebrated their Islamic tradition as well.

Math: Students used the data from yesterday's math lesson to create their own bar graphs and pictographs. We also worked on creating a survey question and how to properly collect data in a chart so they can transfer it correctly into their graphs. Later this week students will be conducting their own surveys and handing it in as a final assessment mark.
